Oracle Acquires Net4call

Deal adds a building block to Oracle's service delivery platform (SDP) portfolio and strategy.

"Oracle has acquired Norway's Net4call for an unspecified sum. The deal doesn't the fit the recent pattern of Oracle acquisitions, which have largely involved vertical-specific applications providers. Net4call is more on the IT infrastructure side, with its main competence coming in an application development product for the Parlay environment."

I would disagree with Line56's assessment. This certainly has a vertical play - telecom. Seems like Oracle is trying bolstering its telecom service provisioning capabilities through this acquisition.
